Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 566 I Have no Intention of Helping You

Despite still being in shock over what happened just now, the people on the ground below could not help but look up at the sky. The two spirit-manipulated beasts were now flying low. Each was carrying someone on their back—one was carrying a man, while the other was carrying a woman. They were amazed not only by the aura of four-star spirit-manipulated beasts but also by the aura of the Supernal Stage spirit manipulator riding one of the beasts.

"They're here!" At the sight of the beasts, as well as the familiar figures on their backs, flying above the fort wall, Marin froze for a moment then cried out in surprise.

"Commander Marin, who is he?" Commander Ron asked in bewilderment. Obviously, he had yet to recognize the people who had suddenly appeared to attack the army of the Timber Deity Empire. The people riding those beasts turned out to be Rocky and Sabina, who had just rushed back here from the Myriad Beasts Ground.

"Charge!" Marin suddenly commanded. She led more than two thousand soldiers of the Evian City to charge towards the city gate and break through the enemy's siege.

The sudden, horrible blizzard a moment ago had frozen many soldiers and forced the army of the Timber Deity Empire to retreat to both sides of the gate, hence a gap emerged in their formation. Marin, along with Elite Commander Ron and Elite Commander Lin, seized this chance to breach the enemy's defense from this very gap and easily fought their way to the gate.

However, just as they were about to enter Evian City, five Huge-horned Rhinoceroses ridden by their masters also rushed towards the gate, seemingly wanting to stop them from entering the city. "Where did the Timber Deity Empire get these five gigantic fellows? They're almost as huge as dragons..." Rocky said in awe. As these five Huge-horned Rhinoceroses charged towards Marin's troop, Rocky immediately took out a bottle of magical saliva and gave it to Uriah. "Distract them quickly," he said while patting Uriah. Rocky then jumped to a protuberant stone on the fort wall and stood there with his hands behind his back.

Uriah dived towards those Huge-horned Rhinoceroses, all the while holding a bottle with its mouth The moment the Huge-horned Rhinoceroses smelled the scent of the magical saliva, they ignored their masters’ orders and chased after Uriah who was now flying low in the air. In just a short while, all of them were drawn away from the gate.

Now that the Huge-horned Rhinoceroses were gone, Marin, Elite Commander Ron, and Elite Commander Lin quickly breached the gate and rushed into Evian City.

Inside Evian City, the city's garrison was struggling to resist the attacks of thousands of Timber Deity Empire's soldiers and spirit manipulators. All of a sudden, however, another group of Evian City's garrison rushed into the city and joined the battle. The Timber Deity Empire's army was caught off guard. They were filled with doubt, wondering if something had happened outside the gate. The force of their attacks weakened. Furthermore, since the support from their men at the fort wall stopped, they now had Marin's troop coming at them from behind

Before long, Woods, the prince of the Timber Deity Empire, who still had over ten thousand soldiers under his command, received the news from the frontline.

"How is that possible?” Woods muttered in disbelief. The news said that the team besieging the city had suffered a surprise attack. Baffled, he scratched his chin and sank into contemplation. Could it be that the reinforcement from the Crimson Dragon Group already arrived? But according to Alyssa's analysis, the Crimson Dragon Group could not arrive within three days. They were supposed to have more than enough time to take down the city. In fact, they had planned to occupy the whole city in two days, just in case something unexpected happened.

Woods looked up at the sky. It was almost nightfall—this was not a good time to attack the city. Besides, it seemed that the enemy's reinforcement already arrived. He must be careful and wait for his chance patiently.

"Withdraw!" Woods ordered after a moment of hesitation.

The horn was blown. Upon hearing it, the soldiers of the Timber Deity Empire stopped fighting against the Evian City's garrison. They withdrew from the city just like a receding tide. In the blink of an eye, all of them were gone, leaving only the Evian City's garrison who had just broken through the gate under Marin, Elite Commander Ron, and Elite Commander Lin's lead.

"The night comes just in time,” Rocky, who stood on the wall watching the troop of the Timber Deity Empire retreat, narrowed his eyes and said with a faint smile.

"Had we come back even one step late, I'm afraid the city would have been occupied by the Timber Deity Empire,” Sabina, who stood beside Rocky, said gravely. Duchess Silver was sitting quietly next to her. Corpses were scattered all over the area. Fires, which had spread into the distance as far as the eye could see, enveloped the whole city.

A short while later, Uriah, who already finished its task, flew back and landed beside Rocky.

At this moment, the fires on the fort wall had burned out, leaving the wall scorched black and ruined.

Rocky got down from the protruding stone. Just as he was about to go down from the wall, a group of people rushed up and came to him.

"Rocky, you bastard..." a woman cursed loudly. Rocky stopped in his track.

He turned around and saw Marin come at him in a towering rage. She was gnashing her teeth, looking like she was itching to kill him.

"Commander Marin, what have I done to you?" Rocky looked at her with his arms folded.

"Why did you come so late?" Marin questioned him with dissatisfaction. Had he appeared earlier, Evian City would not have fared so badly under the siege of the Timber Deity Empire's army that it was nearly taken by the enemies.

"You're not my wife. Why should I report to you about when I would come?" Rocky cast a glance at Marin and raised his brows.

"You..." Marin flushed and stared at him angrily.

The commanders and the spirit manipulators standing behind her had to hold back their laughter as they watched this exchange.

"Hey, she is a girl after all..." Sabina whispered to Rocky with a frown etched on her face.

"Ro... Commander Rocky, you are finally here!” A man's voice suddenly broke the awkward silence. Commander Wang squeezed himself into the crowd and shoved his way towards Rocky. Since Rocky didn't have a title, Commander Wang had paused for a moment but quickly decided that he'd better call him "Commander".

As he tried to catch his breath, he took out the Crimson Dragon Token given by Lance and offered it to Rocky. "The Commander in Chief asked me to give it to you. Now that you're here, you'll be in charge of the Evian City's garrison from now on... Please accept this token..."

"It seems you've misunderstood me. I return to the city not because I want to command the Evian City's garrison, but because I have a private matter to handle. Now, if you'll excuse me..." Rocky said coldly. Without even taking a look at the Crimson Dragon Token, he walked away straight through the crowd.

All of those commanders were struck dumb. They did not expect that Rocky would not want to lead the Crimson Dragon Group or the Evian City's garrison. What he did was publicly going against the Commander in Chief's order. Ordinary people would never have the courage to do so.

Marin was more shocked than anyone else. She thought that they had hope now that Rocky had arrived. She never expected that he would be unwilling to be the commander of the Evian City's garrison and even turn his back on them.
